Hello everybody and welcome to my second AAR. I know I said in my previous AAR that I wouldn't start this thread until August, but I already wanted to start this AAR now. I had a try this weekend to learn the new mechanics added with Mare Nostrum in patch 1.16 and 1.17 and when it went well, I started to keep the screenshots from the game.
So why Flanders?
The Lion rises: the nation which everybody wants to lead to glory, I mean: it's Flanders.
Personal reason: I'm born in Flanders, so I thought it would be nice to play as Flanders. Flanders also starts in a threatening position, being in a PU with Burgundy and surrounded by Austria and France if the BI fires. A bit like Byzantium.
As for mods, I am playing without any mods and there are no major DLC active. And believe me, playing as Flanders without "Support independence" option is really painful.
I have already played until 1520 to make sure I wouldn't need to end this AAR after the first chapter. But things are looking good for now.
I won't be making any promises about when the chapters will be released, I don't know it myself. We'll see when the time is there.
I hope you will like it !
